RRR
is the seventh album for
Hey Colossus
, and the third for Riot Season. This album follows the
Eurogrumble Vol.1
LP, which received broad acclaim as well as landing in some end-of-year lists also (notably in
Rock A Rolla
magazine top 50 of the year). The band formed in 2003 as a five-piece, based in London. Eight years on (and with line-up changes reminiscent of
The Fall
) they are now a seven-piece based in London and Somerset (though nine people perform on the album).
RRR
was recorded through the winter of '10-'11 in Dropout, South London, home to analog tape and all things loud. Mixed by
DrumCunt
and
Basspuppy
, mastered by Hamilton Industries (
Part Chimp
's tub thumper).
RRR
is definitely more varied than previous Colossus records and it explores more subdued, quieter passages. Such moments of calm are not the only varied thing about the new record, Hey Colossus also explore the swooping filmic sounds akin to many a film score -- think along the lines of
Taxi Driver
and Spaghetti Westerns. Some Krautrock-esque mantras also come into the fold, combined with a
Nurse With Wound
/
DNA
influence. Alongside this, "The Drang" keeps up the one-riff, one tune-like
Sabbath
done through
NEU!
that HC are hard for. There is a choice
Berlusconi
baiting,
Can
-inspired clang-a-thon "I Am Bunga Bunga," with a rant that is buried but audible. The result of all of these amalgamating sounds is a Hey Colossus album unlike any other, out with the old and in with the new.
RRR
is the perfect soundtrack for the spring and summer months, assuming you like the idea of the
Butthole Surfers
manning the BBQ,
Faust
cleaning out the pool, and
GG Allin
manning the bar.
